Desperation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the source of the life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of you

I need You Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go
There's no other name by
Which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow you

This world has nothing for me
I will follow You




This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
